This was the most beautiful resort we've ever been to and it was incredible! The staff went above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. The villas felt private and were unbelievable in their detail. The views from each room looked out onto the best outlook of the entire island (not an exaggeration!). The tropical breakfast was fresh and delicious each morning and after looking around other resorts, the restaurant was easily the best (in terms of food and views) in Rarotonga. We would return in a heart beat!

It's right on the best beach on the island, nice sandy beaches and amazing snorkelling at your doorstep

Superbly designed and built beech front villas with outdoor jacuzzu, private deck facing the ocean and access to deserted golden sands leading to a vast 5 foot deep lagoon teaming with tropical fish.

Perfect.. best location on the Island and amazing little resort...casual but stylish - only 14 bungalows ( 10 right on the beach) and no children under 15
Incredibly friendly happy staff, so willing to make your stay perfect and memorable.
Wonderful restaurant at Little Poly, delicious fresh interesting menu. Great Chef !
The accommodation is very comfortable, lots of space inside and out. Beach/ Lagoon is magic, very safe for snorkelling & kayaking.
We stayed in Bungalow 9 for 9 nights and loved every minute we were there.
Will definitely return

Isireli, Sala & Minimana on management team went above and beyond, we will definitely return not only to stay at the beautiful Little Poly but to see them! Brianna, Tanis, Set & Marilyn provided exceptional customer service & made our honeymoon extra special! The Little Poly is the best spot on Rarotonga by far, we can't wait to come back :)

The location and facilities were excellent. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly especially Israeli who went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this hotel as it is small and provided personalised service.
We stayed in a garden villa which was very private and the spa bath outside was great.

100% Verified Reviews

Real guests. Real stays. Real opinions.

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full and as quickly as possible, provided the guidelines are met. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

“It's right on the best beach on the island, nice sandy beaches and amazing snorkelling at your doorstep”

On 6 acres of lush, tropical beachfront grounds on the sheltered western coast of Rarotonga, the Edgewater Resort & Spa is only a 5-minute drive from the International Airport and 3 miles from Avarua...

Nick

눉Breakfast was repetitive, have to pay extra every day for eggs, which seems a bit pathetic given the price. Not walking distance to any good restaurants and on-site restaurant is delicious but so limited in menu.

눇Best beach on the island without doubt. Cool balance of luxury and boutique. Beachfront rooms are private and perfect. Great service, great swimming, good snorkelling, truly paradise.

눉Airport transfers were a bit pricey. Nothing else about the hotel was in any way bad or negative!
